The much-anticipated Thalapathy Vijay starrer, Leo, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has been generating significant buzz as it gears up for its worldwide release on October 19. As the film enters its final promotional phase, the latest announcement by the production team has sent ripples of excitement among fans. The news revealed that the hit song Naa Ready, sung by Vijay and composed by Anirudh Ravichander, is now available in multiple languages, including Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi, in addition to its original Tamil version.
Leo’s promotional journey has been a thrilling ride since its official announcement in 2022 as Thalapathy67. The unveiling of the first promo video in February 2023, titled Leo – Bloody Sweet, marked the official christening of the movie as Leo. Subsequent promotional materials, such as the behind-the-scenes footage of the film’s shoot in Kashmir released by Seven Screen Studio in March, and the unveiling of the first look poster, intensified the mounting anticipation surrounding the film. Of particular interest was the speculation about whether the film would be a part of the prestigious LCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) or not.
The release of Naa Ready in June, performed by Thalapathy Vijay himself, proved to be a chartbuster, setting the stage for more exciting reveals. In the following months, the audience was treated to sneak peeks of key characters, including Antony Das played by Sanjay Dutt and Harold Das portrayed by Arjun Sarja.
Building on the momentum, the promotional team released multilingual posters in September, each following a distinctive thematic pattern in their captions. Anirudh Ravichander’s Badass, the second single from the film, dropped on September 28, adding to the mounting anticipation. The trailer of the film, released on October 5, offered a tantalizing glimpse into the storyline, further heightening the audience’s curiosity. The third single, Anbenum, a romantic track, was released on October 11, showcasing the diverse musical palette of the movie.
Leo, a collaborative venture between Lokesh Kanagaraj and Thalapathy Vijay following their successful collaboration in Master (2021), promises a riveting cinematic experience. With Anirudh Ravichander’s captivating music, Manoj Paramahamsa’s expert cinematography, and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s skilled editing, Leo is all set to make a mark in the hearts of audiences worldwide. The film is produced by SS Lalit Kumar and Jagadish Palanisamy under the banner of Seven Screen Studio, cementing its position as one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
